Subject: [PATCH 5.15 391/846] powerpc/modules: Dont WARN on first module allocation attempt

From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@...roup.eu>

[ Upstream commit f1797e4de1146009c888bcf8b6bb6648d55394f1 ]

module_alloc() first tries to allocate module text within 24 bits direct
jump from kernel text, and tries a wider allocation if first one fails.

When first allocation fails the following is observed in kernel logs:

  vmap allocation for size 2400256 failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase size
  systemd-udevd: vmalloc error: size 2395133, vm_struct allocation failed, mode:0xcc0(GFP_KERNEL), nodemask=(null)
  CPU: 0 PID: 127 Comm: systemd-udevd Tainted: G        W         5.15.5-gentoo-PowerMacG4 #9
  Call Trace:

  [e2a53f30] [c0035098] ret_from_syscall+0x0/0x28
  ...

Add __GFP_NOWARN flag to first allocation so that no warning appears
when it fails.
